Important viewing for anyone contemplating a birth plan.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,
29 Feb 2008
fresh:
Former talk show host Ricki Lake had her first baby in a hospital and came away with the need for a birth experience that was more empowering, with less medical intervention.

15 Feb 2008
fresh:
"The Business of Being Born" is messy and amateurish but heartfelt and compelling.
– Nell Minow,

Epstein's film is conveniently short on interviews with the millions of mothers who have had positive experiences delivering in hospitals.
